THIS MANUAL.
Introduction
Before using this equipment, and to ensure the safe operation of your P-440 lift carefully read this entire manual, especially the section on “Cautions”. The P-440 is designed to be used in conjunction with Vancare
lift track, accessories and slings. Please refer to any user guides supplied with these components and
reference them while reviewing this manual.
Should any questions arise from reviewing this manual contact your local authorized Vancare dealer.
Failure to comply with warnings in this manual may result in injury to the operator, or the individual being
lifted/transferred. Damage to the lift and/or related components may occur. Be sure that the contents of this
manual are completely understood prior to using this piece of equipment.
Store this manual with the documents included with the lift system and sling (s). Contents of this manual are
subject to change without prior written notice.
Overview of P-440 lift system
The P-440 lift is a lifting aid used by health care professionals and those providing care in the home to lift, position and transfer clients or a disabled family member. The P-440 lift is part of what is termed ceiling lift technology which takes advantage of lifting from above and not from below or the side. Additionally the ceiling lift
does not take up valuable floor space as most traditional methods do. Finally, the ceiling lift makes it possible to
move mobility impaired individuals with minimal strain or risk to the caregiver, while providing complete
safety, dignity and comfort for the client or family member.
The P-440 lift is one of four major components that make up this technology. The other three components are
the track, trolley and sling. The P-440 lift runs on the lift track which is securely mounted to the ceiling structure of the institution, or home with the use of ceiling brackets. The track itself is made of specially designed aluminum and comes in many different shapes, lengths and configurations, and is custom tailored and installed to
meet your specific requirements. The third component, the sling, is a specially designed fabric accessory that
attaches to the lift carry bar hooks by the sling straps, and holds an individual while the lift, positioning or transfer takes place. The fourth component, the trolley, is mounted inside the track and has wheels that allow the lift
to move along the track. The lift attaches to the trolley by means of the eyelet of the trolley. The track, trolley
and sling are supplied with the lift at the initial time of purchase.
The P-440 lift is a portable ceiling lift. It is designed to be easily moved from one track location to another.
Track are typically installed in the bedroom, bathroom and/or the living room. The P-440 lift has the ability to
lift an individual up from one location such as bed, move the individual along the track to another location and
finally lower the individual into a chair or bathtub. It is moved along the track manually with the aid of a caregiver. The functions of lifting up or down are accomplished by pressing the buttons of a pneumatically (air) operated hand control. The hand control is attached to the lift by way of a rubber airline tubing. The P-440 lift is
powered by batteries and it is supplied with an easy to use battery charger.
Please refer to figure 1A to see a sample floor plan of an installed lift system and figure 1B to see a photo of the
P-440. Refer to figures 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B to familiarize yourself with the components of the P-440 lift, and
charger.

Basics in transferring an individual
Caution: The following steps are intended to generally describe the procedure involved in the lifting
and transferring of an individual from one location to another using the lift, track and sling. Track configurations will vary by installation.
The manual for the sling that was purchased with the lift should be reviewed in detail prior to attempting these steps. Contact your local authorized dealer should you have any questions or concerns.
Step 1) Carry the P-440 Lift to the desired transfer location. Set it on a secure object such as a table or
chair. Let sufficient strap out of the lift so that the lift hook can be easily attached to the eyelet of the trolley
without having to lift the lift. Attach the lift hook to the eyelet of the trolley as noted in the previous section
titled “Mounting the lift to the track”. Lower the lift to a comfortable level so that it can easily be moved.
Move it close to the individual that is to be transferred. Use the procedures for up and down and moving along
the track as described in the previous sections titled “Raising/Lowering the lift” and “Moving the lift
along the track”.
Caution: Always be cautious when raising or lowering the lift, or moving the lift along the
track. Watch out for and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the patient.
Step 2) Prepare the individual being transferred with the appropriate sling. Refer to the instructions supplied
with the sling that was purchased on how to properly outfit an individual with a sling.
Caution: Always make sure that the sling is correctly fitted and adjusted on each side of the
individual so that maximum comfort and safety are achieved prior to lifting. Refer to the sling
instructions that were supplied with the sling.
Step 3) Once the individual has been outfitted with the sling, move the lift so that it is positioned directly
over the individual. The lift may need to be raised or lower ed, or r e-positioned along the track in order to
accomplish this. Lower the lift so that the carry bar hooks are at a height that makes connecting the straps of
the sling easy to accomplish. Steady the lift with one hand so that it does not accidentally come in contact with
the head or body of the individual to be lifted.
Caution: Always check to ensure that when the lift is lowered that it does not come in contact with the person being lifted. Steady the lift with one hand while it is being lowered near an
individual.
Caution: Always check to ensure that the lift is correctly positioned directly above the person to be lifted. Over time, the lift strap may fray if this is not followed.
Step 4) Following the instructions provided with the sling. Attach the straps of the sling to the car r y bar
hooks of the lift. The straps on each side of the sling are generally attached to the corresponding side of the
carry bar hooks. Be sure to double check to ensure that the straps are properly attached to the carry bar hooks,
and that the individual being lifted is properly positioned in the sling prior to lifting.

Caution: There is a risk for the strap to disengage from the hook, if a sling loop is allowed
to rotate and rest on the latch. Please check to ensure that the loops are on the hook not
resting in the latch. Failure to adhere to these instructions could result in serious injury or
death.
For your safety and the safety of the patient, please always ensure that the sling loops are
correctly positioned on the carry bar hooks. It is suggested to do the check of the sling loops
once there is tension to the sling loops but prior to completely lifting the patient.
Caution: Prior to lifting an individual make sure that the straps of the sling are securely
placed on the carry bar hooks and that the straps will not come off .
Step 5) The individual may now be raised with the use of the UP button on the hand control or front panel but-
ton. While lifting is in progress the height required in order for the transfer to be completed should be closely observed. Ensure that the individual being lifted will not be injured by any obstructions during the initial lifting.

Step 6) Once at the correct height the individual can be moved along the track to the desired location.
Caution: Always be cautious when moving an individual along the track. Watch out for and
avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the lift or individual in the sling.
Step 7) Once at the desired location the individual in the sling can be lowered/raised to the correct height in
order to complete the transfer. On completion of lowering/raising ensure that the individual is properly positioned and safely supported prior to removing the straps of the sling.
Caution: Always be cautious when lowering/raising an individual who is in the sling of the
lift. Watch out for and avoid any obstructions that may cause injury to the individual.
Step 8) Lower the lift sufficiently to allow the sling straps to be easily removed taking car e not to let it
come in contact with the individual in the sling.
Caution: Prior to removing the sling straps from the carry bar hooks be sure to check that
the individual is securely and safely supported in the final desired position.
Step 9) The straps of the sling can now be removed from the carry bar hooks. The sling can then be removed
from the individual and stored in a safe place until next use.
Step 10) The lift should now be raised sufficiently and moved away from the immediate area of the
individual that was transferred. The lift will automatically turn itself OFF if not in use for 2 minutes.
Step 11) The lift can now be removed from track, relocated to another track, or stored in a safe place until
next use. It is recommended that the lift be charged when not in operation. Refer to the section titled
“Charging the lift” for details on charging.
Caution: Always use extreme care when removing the lift from the track. Lower the lift such that
it is securely resting on a stable support object such as a dresser, cart or table prior to removal. This
may be performed by either of the following methods:
1) Lower the lift so that the top of the P-440 is just below the surface of the support then lift the P440 onto it or;
2) Lower the P-440 on the support then with your spare hand apply gentle tension to the lifting strap
to keep it taut while operating the down function with the other hand, noting this does not require
force or lifting the P-440
Use extreme care when re-locating the lift. Be sure it is securely held during transport.
